OVN ovn-kubernetes config address=tcp IPv6 brackets OvnNorth OvnSouth

💡 Result:

In OVN-Kubernetes, when specifying IPv6 addresses for database connections in configuration files (such as the address field within [ovnnorth] or [ovnsouth] sections), you must enclose the IPv6 address in square brackets [] to distinguish the address from the port number [1][2]. The standard format for the address field when using TCP or SSL is: address=tcp:[IPv6_address]:port or address=ssl:[IPv6_address]:port For example: address=tcp:[2001:db8::1]:6641 This bracket notation is a standard requirement for OVS/OVN connection strings to ensure the parser correctly identifies the IPv6 address, preventing confusion between the colons in the IPv6 address and the colon separating the address from the port [1][3]. Note that in modern deployments of ovn-kubernetes, components often connect to local OVN databases via Unix sockets, making these TCP/SSL connection addresses less common or unnecessary for local node-to-database communication [4]. When configuring broader IPv6 networking for clusters (such as pod or service CIDRs), you specify the address without brackets [5][6][7].

Citations:

Bracket the OVN addresses for IPv6.

cfg.Node.NodeIP is populated and validated for IPv6-only configurations, so an empty NodeIP is rejected. However, the template renders IPv6 addresses without brackets. This creates an invalid OVN host-port value and an invalid socat relay target. Format NodeIP as a bracketed host when it is IPv6 in both OVN address fields.

Validate the recorded PID before signaling it and stop startup if it survives the wait.

The run-ovn volume exposes host /var/run/ovn, and hostPID: true exposes host PIDs. kill -0 "${OLD_PID}" only checks whether a PID exists. It does not verify that the PID belongs to ovn-controller, so a stale PID file can terminate an unrelated host process. If the old controller survives the 10 × 0.5 s wait, the script still removes its .ctl socket and starts another controller; the pidfile check may reject the new instance as already running. Compare the PID with the expected process identity, verify the same process instance after the wait, and exit nonzero before removing control sockets if it remains alive.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Compare the SB_ADDR host exactly. The ConfigMap produces SB_ADDR as tcp:<primary-node-IP>:<SB-port>. With tcp:10.0.0.10:9642 and K8S_NODE_IP=10.0.0.1, the substring test selects the primary branch. The worker then starts no relays and does not set external_ids:ovn-remote. If no usable remote already exists, ovn-controller can remain indefinitely in its unbounded readiness loop, and worker networking cannot start.

Extract the host from SB_ADDR and compare it to K8S_NODE_IP as an exact value.

Apply the primary role label to existing nodes during upgrade.

When an upgrade retains the existing Node object, kubelet does not add node.microshift.io/role=primary from --node-labels; it reconciles only built-in default labels. Without upgrade-time labeling or node recreation, ovnkube-master cannot match its nodeSelector on the primary node.

In `@pkg/node/kubelet.go` around lines 92 - 94, Update the kubelet node-label
reconciliation around BootstrapKubeConfigExists so existing nodes retained
during upgrades also receive node.microshift.io/role=primary. Ensure the label
is applied when the node is already present, not only when bootstrap
configuration is absent, while preserving the existing behavior for newly
bootstrapped nodes.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli.
